Im going to be staying in florida as part of a holiday also taking in boston, ive done the theme park thing visiting during my time in the navy so am not looking at orlando, dont really fancy miami either for some reason. Im looking at staying in somewhere like tampa, or fort lauderdale, could anyone give any insight into the latter two please? Also what would be the best route from manchester to fort lauderdale would it be via orlando? Are travel links between the two reasonable as i dont want to hire a car. Many thanks for any advice.
